Recommendation R2.8
To further benefit from community involvement in foster care, inform local organizations about specific needs in their area. Many city/neighborhood councils, local civic organizations (i.e. Rotary, Kiwanis, etc.) and local faith-based organizations may not be aware of these needs. Reach out to local organizations individually or invite them to events intended to inform and recruit their assistance and turn public concern into practical solutions.
